Welcome to 5E!


In our class we will encourage participation, embrace diversity, and energize individuals. I expect all students and parents to take an active role in the child’s education. Students will learn through a variety of experiences that include group work, presentations, experiments, and investigations. I will strive to provide all students with opportunities to succeed.
This is going to be a great year!

Mission Statement
Created by the students of 5E
I promise to take responsibility for creating my future. I will respect and care for others in the same way that I would like to be treated. This year I will work hard and be ready to learn at all times. As new challenges arise, I will approach them with confidence and an open mind. GO PANTHERS!

Behavior Management System

Classroom Rules

· Always be safe.
· Respect yourself, others, and property.
· Be prepared for learning.
· Follow directions the first time they are given.
· Enter the room quietly and begin morning work immediately.

Rewards
The rewards for appropriate behavior are as follows:
· Verbal praise
· Positive note or call home
· Random raffles for prizes

Consequences
If a student chooses to act inappropriately the following will happen:


Strike 1 - Verbal warning. This is the one and only warning!

Strike 2 - The student will be required to serve a detention during lunch/recess.

Strike 3 - Parent/teacher conference and discipline write-up submitted to the office.


* The consequence for incomplete homework is an automatic detention. Students will receive only one warning for this offense at the beginning of the year.

*Severely inappropriate behavior may result in alternative disciplinary action.



PAT (Preferred Activity Time)
The class may earn minutes of Preferred Activity Time based on their behavior as a whole class. The minutes are redeemed on a weekly basis for activities such as board games, hang man, spelling sparkle, etc.
